Mac n' Cheese Please ~ Health Update

We have tried a few healthier versions of Macaroni and Cheese, but haven't really found one we all like. Of course, this is a tough dish to replace that ooey, gooey cheese sauce we all like.

After searching the Internet, I found a few that may taste pretty good. I baked Sweet Potato Mac' n' Cheese, and we loved it! It doesn't have that cheesy taste you get with a cheese sauce but my kids devoured this.

The ingredients are simple, and some day, I hope to be making my own cottage cheese from scratch (or ricotta). I know we will be adding "sweet potatoes" to the garden this year also. For our dish, I used whole wheat penne noodles. Very simple, and very good. I had broccoli as a side dish. I've had two good meals in a row, so the family is counting on me. I'm back to searching for clean eating dishes, and hopefully find a delicious dish again.

As for the update, hubby and I have been back to the gym for over a week now. I continue to walk on the treadmill at home and we are already feeling much better. However, I am going back to the doctor today and hopefully, they can finally put an end to my ear trouble and sinus issues.

Recycling updates: I've been collecting plastic cheese bags for the school. I hope to be sending in our first shipment this week. The school receives $.02 for each one I ship in, and the landfills will be a cleaner place.

Kim, I signed up with Terracycle on-line. You can choose any item to recycle and ship in, and designate where the cash is sent. I am not sure if there are any openings for cheese bags still, but if you google it, you can look over all the items they will take.

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? Matt 6:25-27 NIV
